Hi all,

I'm attempting to compile OVS with DPDK on CentOS 6.6 and I am hitting an issue 
with testsuite.patch failing to apply during the last stages of compilation. I 
can see that the structure of the code in ovs/tests/testsuite itself is very 
different to what testsuite.patch expects (hence why it fails).

Looking at first few lines of code below from testsuite.patch it seems this 
patch is only relevant if running in a windows environment 

elif test $at_jobs -ne 1 &&
     test "$IS_WIN32" = "yes"; then

Is this a correct assumption?

If I remove the contents of testsuite.patch and essentially apply an empty 
patch then compilation of OVS completes as normal. Functionality is as expected 
and all unit tests (make check, make dist check, make all) pass.

If the assumption above is correct and the patch is not relevant to the 
environment I'm running OVS in then is there a way to skip its application? 
i.e. a flag that can be set to skip the patch step all together. This would be 
better than manually altering the patch.

Would this have a negative affect that I'm not aware of?

Appreciate any feedback.

Thanks
Ian Stokes
